    The Exorcist

    For the second half of Movie Illiterate's double feature, Tom and Lauren look into the 1973 classic, The Exorcist!

    The Terminator

    Lauren wanted to a movie more geared toward adults, so this week on Movie Illiterate, they are tackling the 1980s classic, The Terminator. Although promoted as sci-fi, Tom argues that it could also be considered a horror/slasher type film. Lauren doesn't care, she's going to terminate Tom's childhood with extreme prejudice!
